===Magnification=== The actual power or [[magnification]] of a compound optical microscope is the product of the powers of the [[eyepiece]] and the objective lens. For example a 10x eyepiece magnification and a 100x objective lens magnification gives a total magnification of 1,000Γ. Modified environments such as the use of oil or ultraviolet light can increase the resolution and allow for resolved details at magnifications larger than 1,000x.{{cn|date=December 2024}}
